+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Load the Dataset
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+dataset = load_dataset("GotThatData/kraken-trading-data")
+```
+
+### Example: Load Bitcoin Trades
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Load Bitcoin trades for January 2024
+df = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/GotThatData/kraken-trading-data/trades/XXBTZUSD_trades_2024-01.csv")
+
+# Convert timestamp to datetime
+df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df['timestamp'], unit='ms')
+
+# Set as index
+df = df.set_index('timestamp')
+
+# Display first rows
+print(df.head())
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```
+                             price      volume  side         trade_id
+timestamp                                                            
+2024-01-01 00:00:01.234  42150.5    0.025000   buy   1704067201234-1
+2024-01-01 00:00:01.567  42149.8    0.100000   sell  1704067201567-2
+...
+```
+
+### Example: Resample to 1-Hour OHLCV
+
+```python
+# Resample trades to hourly candles
+ohlcv = df.resample('1H').agg({
+    'price': ['first', 'max', 'min', 'last'],
+    'volume': 'sum',
+    'trade_id': 'count'
+})
+
+# Flatten column names
+ohlcv.columns = ['open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume', 'trade_count']
+print(ohlcv.head())
+```
+
+### Example: Calculate Moving Average Crossover
+
+```python
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+# Load 1-minute OHLCV
+df = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/GotThatData/kraken-trading-data/ohlcv/XXBTZUSD_1min.csv")
+df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df['timestamp'], unit='ms')
+df = df.set_index('timestamp')
+
+# Calculate moving averages
+df['MA_20'] = df['close'].rolling(window=20).mean()
+df['MA_50'] = df['close'].rolling(window=50).mean()
+
+# Plot
+plt.figure(figsize=(14, 7))
+plt.plot(df['close'], label='BTC Price', alpha=0.5)
+plt.plot(df['MA_20'], label='20-period MA')
+plt.plot(df['MA_50'], label='50-period MA')
+plt.legend()
+plt.title('Bitcoin Price with Moving Averages')
+plt.show()
+```
+
+### Example: Order Book Visualization
+
+```python
+import seaborn as sns
+
+# Load order book snapshot
+ob = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/GotThatData/kraken-trading-data/orderbook/XXBTZUSD_orderbook_2024-01.csv")
+
+# Filter for a specific timestamp
+snapshot = ob[ob['timestamp'] == ob['timestamp'].iloc[0]]
+
+# Separate bids and asks
+bids = snapshot[snapshot['side'] == 'bid'].sort_values('price', ascending=False)
+asks = snapshot[snapshot['side'] == 'ask'].sort_values('price')
+
+# Plot depth chart
+plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
+plt.step(bids['price'], bids['cumulative_volume'], where='pre', label='Bids', color='green')
+plt.step(asks['price'], asks['cumulative_volume'], where='post', label='Asks', color='red')
+plt.xlabel('Price (USD)')
+plt.ylabel('Cumulative Volume (BTC)')
+plt.title('BTC/USD Order Book Depth')
+plt.legend()
+plt.show()

+
+# Feature engineering
+df['returns'] = df['close'].pct_change()
+df['volatility'] = df['returns'].rolling(window=24).std()
+df['volume_ma'] = df['volume'].rolling(window=24).mean()
+
+# Target: 1 if price goes up next hour, 0 otherwise
+df['target'] = (df['close'].shift(-1) > df['close']).astype(int)

+
+# Features and target
+features = ['open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume', 'returns', 'volatility', 'volume_ma']
+X = df[features]

+
+# Split
+X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, shuffle=False)
